LA HUELLA EN LA NIEBLA

Elias has committed a murder. Wounded and lost in the fog, he returns to his island. After the flood everything has changed: nothing has remained the way he remembered and the house he used to live in is empty. His father offers him shelter but, deep down, he doesn’t trust him. The new neighbors tell him where he can find his wife and his son, who now live with another man and don’t want to see him again. All Elias’ efforts are in vain, he has quit drinking, fixed up the farm where they used to live together, and has found work on a boat. And as the pain slowly increases, even the surrounding nature seems to swallow him up.

“Water is a key element of the film – magical, captivating, and wrapped in shadow. It is where life unfolds; it is where a person can disappear. Like the nature that surrounds him, Elias is hurt and is looking for healing in a quiet environment that is becoming increasingly hostile and polluted. In his canoe, Elias navigates a river of dreams full of fog, pushed ahead by a strange wind as he searches for his island, his house, his family.”
